You might ask as we did, "what is the Enchanted Version?" We touch on it a little bit in the episode, but here is the breakdown:

The Original R&H Cinderella: Rodgers and Hammerstein were the first major Broadway composers of their time to tackle the fairytale, but they didn't do it for Broadway. Their Cinderella premiered as a TV movie in 1957, with Julie Andrews in the title role. This was the original version of the musical.

The Enchanted Edition: Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella has stood the test of time, having had two additional film remakes. The first was a 1965 version starring Lesley Ann Warren alongside Ginger Rogers as the Queen. The second, a 1997 TV movie, had an all-star lineup all the way through. This remake featured stage and screen icons including Brandy Norwood, Whitney Houston, Bernadette Peters, Paolo Montalbán, Whoopi Goldberg, Victor Garber, and Jason Alexander. This 1997 version is considered The Enchanted Edition.

The Broadway version: Finally, more than 50 years after Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote Cinderella, the show made it to Broadway in 2013 and ran for just under two years.
